A Grave Question.

OF a grave question, which every
Benedict must be called on to face in
some form, the Buffalo Courier says.
There's a young man up on-well, no
matter what street-but on a street
in Buffalo, who is about to enter into
the b. b. Of M. in a month or SO. The
question that torments him now Isl
whether to give his wife stated al
lowance Of money, give it to her in
s'hunks,' = or let her ask for it when
she wants it. He's rather diffident
about talking it over with his betroth.
ed. THE diggins OF it is,n as he says,
that the allowance will have to be
small, fits that way. He has tried
to pump the married women of his ac-
squalntance and most Of them incline
to the allowance system. 1t will be
rather hard to ARRANGE the matter
equally unless his vile runs the house
keeping, bills and all, in which case
some women would say. and perhaps
justly, that he should turn over his
whole salary to her, and ask her for
cigar and other spending money when
ha needs it. But that's rather hard
on the man.

A Delicate Machine.

line safety waive. I.
In a Broadway store which is
branch of a big out.of-town scale fac
tory, are more different kinds of scales
than most people imagine were ever
made. There are specimens of every
grade OF weighing machine. from the
big track-scales that can weigh rail-
road car full Of pig lead down to q
tiny balance so fine that it is kept in
in a glass case which could be carried
in ones pocket. The smallest scales
of all are made for delicate tests in
assaying. They are adjusted to mllli-
grammes, and are SO sensitive and so
fine that an eyelash can be correctly
weighed on them. You can write your
name on a slip OF paper with a lead
pencil, and then find out just how
much your signature weighs. The
weights are the mere atoms of alumi-
mum. not half SO large as the head Of
a pin. The machine is so delicate.

as much as its weight in gold Every
once in d while a skeptic comes along
who dosen't believe it Will weigh hair
from a mans head, and if the mana
ger OF the store has plenty of time at
his disposal he will bring out the won-
derful little machine and operate it..
A reporter happened in she other day
while the operation wasgoing on. TIE
manager took a slip OF ordinary writ-
ing paper and weighed It. It weighed
thirty eight m milligrammes. He then
gave it to the visitor, with lead PEN
eli, and the visitor wrote John Hen
ry Larned" on it in full free hand.
Then the manager put the slip back
on the scale and fixed the little
weights. When he struck q balance
again he had forty three milligrammes
on the other side. The Signature
weighed precisely five milligrammes.
Then the man pulled q hair ontof his
head, and the manager found it weigh
ed three milligrammes.

ceneral.crant Laughed.
Chicago Tribune.


General Grant was rarely known to
smile, and the occasions were few in
deem when his dignity so far broke
down as to permit him to laugh out
right-though he was far from being
devoid of a relish for a good story or
joke. There was one time in his life,
however, when he INDUCED in a roar
OF laughter that might have been
heard tor a quarter OF mile. It was
while he was filling the Presidential
chair and made his trip to Des Moines,
Iowa, and delivered his famous speech
on educatiOn-the first time it was
discovered that he really could make
% good speech. He had been in St.
Louis and came up the old Northern
Missouri Railroad into Iowa. He
passed through the little town of
Bloomfield, twelve miles from the
Missouri line, at 9 O'Clock at night.
A crowd had assembled, conspicuous
among them being the village topper,
who always filled up on great
occasions, and had therefore
risen to the emergency and
was In a condition, on the arrival Of
the Presidential party, TO hobnob with
king. The train halted at the sta
tion for several minutes, and in re-
sponse to cheers President Grant ap-
peared on the platform and lifted his
hat in stiff, schoolboy fashion. The
old topper looked at him with blinking
eyes, then deliberately clambered up
ON the platform. steadied himself by
the railing, and deliberately thurst
his lace close to the shpinx like coun-
tenance before him. There was adead
silence, the audacity Of the act caus-
ing the townspeople to stare in dumb
amazement, while the few persons sur
rounding Grant were equally astound-
ed. For a moment the drunken man
swayed and stared, and then said.
Ish zis Presh' 'dunt Grant,
The features of the hero OF Ap-
pomattox relaxed q little as he nod-
ded affrmatiyeiy.
Come, now, homes, pardnef,' per-
sisted the topper. ''Shay, OF man, y,
amt tayln' to fool felier, are yon?'s
The scene was cut short by the
Town Marshal preaching up and yank-
ing the intruder to the ground; but IL
had such an eypressihly funny side
that the "silent man. burst into a
| .sarty guffaw, in which those around
] him joined as the train moved away.

And his swirling tail and his shaggy

Oh, never corpulent pug for mo,

His bound at my slightest sign,

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

The symptoms of drunkenness, belt
observed, are all paralytic, and are
all due to loss of nervous power and
OF voluntary control. The flushing OF
the face shows the paralysis OF the
small blood vessels; soon the slip
shod utterances show the want ofvol-
untary control over some of the mus
cles OF articulation; the double vision
indicates the loss OF accommodating
power in the eyes; and the staggering
gait shows that the loss of control
has extended to the large muscles;
lastly. the drunkard falls prostrate IN
a acondition so closely resembling apo
plexy that the most experienced oc-
casionally failrightly to distinguishone
from the other.
The temperance women of England
have been getting up a jubilee memo
rial to the queen in the shape OF a
petition that the bar-room be closed
on Sunday. 1t now weighs several
hundred pounds, and contains three
quarters OF a million signatures.
A Nantucket steamboat captain
was one asked by a passenger on his
boat how much ardent spirits he
used.
He replied, never drank q tea
spoonful of rum, brandy, gin, cider,
VINE, or beer; never smoked orsnuff-
ed, and | never irank tea or coffee y
But said the passenger, "what
did you drink with your breakfast?''
"Cold water" was the answer.
"And what with your dinner?"
''Cold water.'
''Well," said the passenger, ssbut
What do you take when you are
sick?"
II never was sick in my life," was
the ready reply.
The high liquor license law is dimin-
lshing the number OF drinking saloons
IN Philadelphia. In every part OF the
city places used foryears as bar-rooms
have been vacated, and now bear on
the closed doors placards .sTo Let.''
A number of the places closed were
pretentions establishments, fitted up
in good style, apparently doing a
thriving business. With them, as with
numberless glittering affairs of this
world, where appearances go for so
much, things were not what they seem.
ed. Five hundred dollars for one
years license to sell liquor was too
heavy an inroad on the annual profits
to warrent a continuation OF the busi-
ness. Hence the end came.
At the general assembly Of The
knights OF labor ac Minneapolis re-
Gently General Master Workman Pow
derly, in referring to the principles Of
the order, sold: 81 am called a. crank
on thetemperance question. Imay bea
crank on this question, but am not
ashamed to say that I would rather
see man sober than a. drunkard; it
is better to educate our children to be
temperate, not to be drunkards.
There is not man living that Will
say it is right to bring into the home
that which damns the head Of the fam.
lily. There are those who have threat
ened to leave the order because of nv
position on this question. l say to
all who would withdraw for that
cause, say go; I'll trust the fate of
this nation with sober men. I'll new
eg take back one word have said on
the temperance question. The time
will come when the workers of all
kinds will be banded together for
this common purpose"

A VERY CELEnRATED CASE.

No dramatist or novel writer ever
conceived of plot SO complicated
and mysterious as the case of Mil
ton Bowers, sentenced to be hanged
for wife murder in San Francisco.
Each day brings us to some new
development in the case. When
the suicide of the brother-in-law
was announced people were aston
ished. Now that Detective Lees
has unravelled new mystery and
can show that Benhayen was muir
dered by some acconplice OF Bow
ers to clear the latter, and that the
alleged confession was forged or
forced from the victim, the COM
munity stand aghast.
Never before has murder shrink
ing in the shadow of the gallows
concocted SO bold and dreadful a
plot to clear himself. If the latter
theory is true he stands before the
world as the most cunning and un-
scrupulcus. murderers that ever
lived. To cover one terrible crime
he accomplishes the death of rel
alive AMI blackens the character of
his dead wife at one foul strike.
One recoils with horror before
such q combination of heliish inge-
nnity as this. The first act of the
drama-killing wife for her life
insurance-was bad enough, but it
appears that Bowers has been able
to secure men who would make an
other murder To cover up the first.
What tempest of doubts and fears
must rage in that mans conscience.
For months arranging the plot, one
day succeeding and causing the
press and populace of great city
to proclaim his innocence, he al
most steps into the sunshine of lib
erty, and the next the relentless
fingers of the detective unravel his
work and the shadow of the gallows
comes over him again. He will
never hang; the failure of his last
plot will drive him to madness and
suicide.

The Evils of Gossip.

Some time since Bishop Hunting
ton read a paper on Talking a fine
Art" to some school girls in SYRIA
cuse, New York, in which he strong
ly rebuked the practice of scandal
mongering. The following is a
paragraph from the address, which
Is not one whit too severe on the
evils of idle gossip:
IL say to you, weighing my own
words, that you would be less de-
PRAYED, less savage, would less dis
grace your womenhood, would be
less q curse to your kind, and, if
God is rightly revealed to us in His
word and His son, would less Of
fend Him by going to see dogs Eight
in their kennels at Five Points or
bulls gore horses in Spain than by
putting on your bonnet and gloves
and going from house to house in
yoru neighborhood assailing absent
acquaintances, dribbllng calumny,
sowing suspicion, planting and wa
terlng wretchedness, stabbing char
aster and alternating friends by re-
peating to one the detractlon that
you 'heard' another had spoken.

seat of Christ a prize-fighting man
will stand no worse than the SANDER

The proposition of turning the
teachers on. of the State University
on short notice is thus criticised by
Willis Richardson of Elko:
When permits to teach are so
easily obtained teachers will fall in
to disrepute, and certificates will be
a farce. If this action is not re-
scinded by the State Board, il will
prove the most effective measure
towards the oppression and debase-
ment of the Public Schools OF Neva-
da ever adopted. Of all the I'M
wholesome legislation for the school
system of Nevada, this will surely
be attended with the greatest num-
Der of evils, and will meet the
strongest opposition from all the
educators of the State who are not
engaged in blooming" Reno.
